Fine for trucking company after animal blood spilled into Dunedin waterway
A trucking company has been fined after one of its tankers leaked a large volume of animal blood on Dunedin’s Townleys Rd, near Kaikorai Valley Rd, on June 19. It is understood thousands of litres was spilled on the road, with some going into the nearby Kaikorai Stream.
Otago Regional Council regulatory general manager Richard Saunders said the large spill prompted an investigation by staff.
That led to the trucking company being issued with an infringement notice for making an unpermitted discharge into a waterway, he said.
